Air Jack

We got Jack his first basketball goal for Christmas...it was LOVE at first sight! When we put him to bed tonight he was holding his blanket and paci while softly whispering ball...ball...ball.

Jack, meet Santa...Santa, meet a crying toddler

This past Sunday we took Jack to La Cantera to have his picture taken with Santa Claus. As you can see below, the day didn't start off to well. Jack was not happy about...well I don't really know what made him so unhappy in this picture.


Can you see the look of fear settling in? He's got a good firm grip on my sweater.

If you can't tell he's crying in this picture. I almost wish they would have taken a picture of Kris and I trying to get Jack to stop crying and look at the dancing puppy or "silly daddy/mommy".


The final product;this is as good as it was going to get. At some point you need to know when to say "ok that's good".

He got it from "Gene Gene the Dancing Machine"...

Check out this kid.... At the beginning he yells "maaa" because I changed the song. He dances, says ball and shows us that he knows how to be gentle. He's learning so much right now, it's a blast!


He is too funny! This video captures Jack so well. He spends his day running around, throwing his toy balls (or anything else he calls a ball-like a puzzle piece) and running some more. He definitely keeps us on our toes and we LOVE it!

Lemon face

The weekend after Thanksgiving, we were joined by Kris's parents and Kate. It was great to spend so much time with them. Both of us always talk about how much we miss Abilene and living so close to his parents. I never thought I would say it, but I REALLY miss ole Abilene.

One night at dinner Jack thought a bright yellow lemon looked appealing, so we gave him a taste:) Sometimes parents do things at their child's expense-all in good fun. Jack's face after Kris let him try the lemon was priceless! In the video you can see his lemon face and just how friendly he is. Anytime we go somewhere he always finds a way to befriend someone-usually a woman :)
